Charlie does so well with Maureen every time! He comes home happy and relaxed, which says everything. She’s great about communication and sends updates/photos, which I really appreciate. I feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care and will absolutely book again.

Once again Maria is absolutely fantastic. We always leave our corgi with her for every vacation and we never worry about a thing! She takes such good care of him, treating him as a member of her own family.

Willow was so so happy from the minute she hopped out of the car! She bolted straight into Tanya’s home and didn’t think twice about leaving us. Tanya did a great job of balancing Willows time there and knowing what she needed. She will be happy to go back, like visiting a family friend :)

Karlee was so patient with my nervous kitty! It was such a relief knowing he was somewhere safe, even if nervous. She gave him the affection/ pets he loves at his level of comfort. He got to be a bit spicy at the end of his visit, but that had nothing to do with her care. Thank you so much for watching him! The daily updates were so reassuring for me!

We had a very last minute booking for our puppy and Trudy was more than accommodating. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and even tips about her training. We knew Annie was in good hands and she had a blast- we will be bringing her back again :)

Kyle was absolutely fantastic! He watched our Alaskan Malamute puppy over Thanksgiving week—her very first time being away from home—and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. At just shy of 5 months old, she had never been boarded or stayed anywhere else, so I was incredibly nervous. Kyle put my mind at ease right away. Not only is he genuinely kind, but it’s obvious he truly knows, understands, and loves dogs. He was responsive the entire week, sent plenty of photo updates, and even brought her along to his family’s Thanksgiving dinner, where she got tons of love and attention. When we picked her up, she was still the same happy, wiggly bundle of joy we left—clearly well cared for and comfortable the whole time. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind he gave us. Absolutely would recommend Kyle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pup!

David is wonderful with our cavapoo Teddy. He made sure Teddy has a lot of activities. Our puppy enjoyed his time with the company of David’s dogs. David is very responsive to messages. He provided updates with pictures. Our puppy enjoyed his spring break at David’s house. We were not worried because we knew he was in excellent hands. We will definitely use David for dog boarding again.

Daisy practically doesn’t want to come home with me after staying with Patti and Patrick! They’re in demand for a reason. I love when she stays with them because I know she’ll be well taken care of and have her own vacation while I’m out of town!

We were very happy with Mochi's stay at Alicia and Simon's. They sent us pictures and videos and communicated with us the entire time we were gone. Mochi was so sad to leave their house and must have had fun because he has pretty much been sleeping since he got back!

We loved Lindsay! She was so great with Moose, and we really appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away. We loved how she let him just make himself at home with her, took him on plenty of walks, and even let him keep a toy he fell in love with during his stay! We will definitely have Moose visit Lindsay more often!
